Will Old Testament Saints Appear Before the Judgment Seat of Christ?

By Randy Alcorn

February 3, 2010

Question from a reader:

Will Old Testament saints appear before the judgment seat of Christ? If not, is there a similar judgment they will appear before?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

The word "Christ" in the "judgment seat of Christ," means "Messiah, the anointed one." Since Christ is the judge and king, very likely he is the member of the Godhead that OT saints would stand before.

There is not an explicit statement but it makes sense that he would conduct the judgment of OT saints as well as NT saints.

Where Is the Judgment of Faith Found in the Bible?

Question from a reader: I understand that the Lord allows His people to either enter the Intermediate Heaven or, if they have not come to the Lord in faith, to be sent to the Intermediate Hell…but I am wondering what passage of Scripture supports this statement.
